Stupid Laws

[MeDeFe]

I heard Australia banned small tits in porn.

i'd not heard of that one but wouldn't it be commercial suicide to include them.

There are men who like small tits.

Besides, what are the small-breasted pron actors supposed to do now? Will the government of australia pay for their implants due to making it illegal for them to practice their job? Isn't this discrimination that they can't work in their chosen profession just because of the way they were born? It's like outlawing all red-haired women from working as school teachers.

Australia is a fucked up place.

Agreed, that law is complete bullshit, even more so than not allowing 6 women to live under one roof. (They can commute to work after all.) To make matters worse, the EU is moving in a similar direction.

These are actually written, official laws.

It is illegal for a cab in the City of London to carry rabid dogs or corpses.

It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament.

It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside down.

In France, it is forbidden to call a pig Napoleon.

Under the UK’s Tax Avoidance Schemes Regulations 2006, it is illegal not to tell the taxman anything you don’t want him to know, though you don’t have to tell him anything you don’t mind him knowing.

In Alabama, it is illegal for a driver to be blindfolded while driving a vehicle.

In Ohio, it is against state law to get a fish drunk.

Royal Navy ships that enter the Port of London must provide a barrel of rum to the Constable of the Tower of London.

In the UK, a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants – even, if she so requests, in a policeman’s helmet.

In Lancashire, no person is permitted after being asked to stop by a constable on the seashore to incite a dog to bark.

In Miami, Florida, it is illegal to skateboard in a police station.

In Indonesia, the penalty for masturbation is decapitation.

In England, all men over the age of 14 must carry out two hours of longbow practice a day.

In London, Freemen are allowed to take a flock of sheep across London Bridge without being charged a toll; they are also allowed to drive geese down Cheapside.

In San Salvador, drunk drivers can be punished by death before a firing squad.

In the UK, a man who feels compelled to urinate in public can do so only if he aims for his rear wheel and keeps his right hand on his vehicle.

In Florida, unmarried women who parachute on Sundays can be jailed.

In Kentucky, it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon more than six-feet long.

In Chester, Welshmen are banned from entering the city before sunrise and from staying after sunset.

In the city of York, it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow.

In Boulder, Colorado, it is illegal to kill a bird within the city limits and also to “own” a pet – the town’s citizens, legally speaking, are merely “pet minders”.

In Vermont, women must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth.

In London, it is illegal to flag down a taxi if you have the plague.

In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman’s genitals but is forbidden from looking directly at them during the examination; he may only see their reflection in a mirror.

The head of any dead whale found on the British coast is legally the property of the King; the tail, on the other hand, belongs to the Queen - in case she needs the bones for her corset.

"It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside down.

In France, it is forbidden to call a pig Napoleon."

Of these silly laws, I find these two actually make sense as they are more about respect than anything else.

[Mr_Adams]

In England, all men over the age of 14 must carry out two hours of longbow practice a day.

The British won several wars due to this law, in the 15th and 16th century.

In Kentucky, it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon more than six-feet long.

Sorry, 6 feet long AND concealed? Are you carrying your pet boa as a weapon?

In London, it is illegal to flag down a taxi if you have the plague.

This makes perfect sense, as it would help to protect a driver and future passengers from being infected during the plague.

The head of any dead whale found on the British coast is legally the property of the King; the tail, on the other hand, belongs to the Queen - in case she needs the bones for her corset.

There are also valuable oils found in the head of a whale, which the king would be keen to seize upon.

There's one other I can't seem to track down. I don't know how true it is but I've heard in Canada it is illegal to commit suicide. Like what are they going to do to do, put you 6 feet under!?

As a resident of Canada, I can safely tell you that commiting, or trying to commit suicide, is not illegal. Granted everyone will try to stop you..

It is however illegal to help someone commit suicide.

[sempaispellcheck]

I don't doubt it, but this is the 21st, and from what I know, soldiers don't use longbows anymore.

Sorry, 6 feet long AND concealed? Are you carrying your pet boa as a weapon?

They make 6-foot bo staffs, and those do count as weapons. The question here is, how do you conceal a weapon 6 feet long?

Predator, dude. Those space aliens have long weapons that just pop out of their armor.

the rest of us shouldn't have to suffer because of their affliction

Besides, what are the small-breasted pron actors supposed to do now? Will the government of australia pay for their implants due to making it illegal for them to practice their job? Isn't this discrimination that they can't work in their chosen profession just because of the way they were born?

implants are a work tax deduction so would be partially paid for by the government

It's like outlawing all red-haired women from working as school teachers.

lets not be silly, no one would ever ban red-haired women from anything - they are sexy. red-haired men are a completely different story

freezie is correct but everyone still talks about it being illegal I guess because it makes a funny story. Here's a government documet it talks about the repeal on page 77.

I Love Utah so much more because of some of these laws

It is a felony to persistently tread on the cracks between paving stones on the sidewalk of a state highway.

It is illegal to cause a catastrophe.

No one may walk down the street carrying a paper bag containing a violin.

Auctions may not be advertised by hiring trombone players to play on the street.

???! This doesn't even make sense... what is it trying to say?

Trombone advertising..

i have not given my thoughts, merely pointed out the situation as it is in my country

[SirSebstar]

these are the stupid laws mentioned for th dutch>.
which is wierd, cause they aint even tha dump.

It is legal to smoke pot, buy it, or have less than 5 grams with you.
Prostitution is legal but the prostitutes must pay taxes like any other business.

Other laws include that it used to be legal to add bribes to business costs for tax deduction purposes, same with weapons and or a fierce dog (but not a chiwawa)

There is a fire law that states that all cars in a car sale-shop should have the keys near or in the car. There is a law that states that all owners of a company must have sufficient insurance. All insurance policies state that you are not allowed to store keys for cars near or in the cars, or there is no coverage.
Nice…

What would be the most stupid rule on CC ?

The one where Wicked banned people like a banshee..

[PLAYER57832]

up until the mid- 90's there was a law in Maricopa county, Arizona that stated that when a prisoner was released from prison they were to be given a saddle and enough gold to buy a horse. Don't know what happened to that law. some inmate probably heard about it and requested his gold... would have been repealed quite quickly after that, no?

This is humerous, particularly given that isn't Maricopa county the one where the sheriff is famous for dressing prisoners in pink and housing them in tents?

On a serious note, it actually makes some sense... without a horse, these guys would have to stay in town. This way, they can be made to leave.

Exactly how do you suffer from other men preferring women with small breasts?


I'll just ignore the other nonsense you wrote.

[PLAYER57832]

In Minnesota, it is illegal for a man to have sexual intercourse with a living fish.

Kinda along these lines, in a lot of states it is illegal to have sex in any position except the missionary position.

These were officially overruled by the Supreme court some years back, so technically are not "blue laws". They stay on the books because some people still do want them, and hope the Supreme court will reverse itself.

It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside down.

Good thing I am not British! I was forever turning stamps upside down by mistake.
( I would have a stack of bills and put the stamps on all at once.. if a couple got turned, I did not always notice).

Laws against suicide are there primarily to allow the authorities to hold you after an attempt, for a period of time to help you stay safe. 99% of the time any charge like this gets dropped.


Small titty laws in Aussie porn were put in place to combat underage and child porn.

( I'm not sure of how well thats working, but if it helps combat child pornography I'm all for it. There seems to be a rise of sites that portray the youngest looking women possible. Not the barely 18 stuff, but the "I can't believe she's 18" crap. If you're getting your rocks off viewing a pre-pubecent looking girl who's shaved, with non existent breasts, wearing sailor moon skirts and pig tails, then you should be gut shot and left to die on an anthill.)

I wouldn't vote for your penalty against some guy who watches "pretend pedo" movies but I might not vote against it either if that makes sense.

That's a reasonable sounding theory. I suppose that's why it's been repealed in Canuckistan. Probably replaced by laws that allow them to hold you for mental assesments in a less criminal type and more supervised possibly better padded remand facility.
